Brad Waudby: A Detective's Battle with Alcoholism and Triumph Over Stigma

I was just letting things happen and taking the open doors rather than trying to breach those closed doors and forcing things, because that's all I knew how to do in my life. And it brought me back to when I was a little kid and I was fishing for Native Brook trout in like the mountains by my house, right and catching little guys, you know, like this big, but they were like painted. It looked like god took a paintbrush to them.
